Nokia Killing Symbian and S40 In North America

Posted by Unknown on from the build-your-own-coffin dept.

In an interview with AllthingsD, the head of Nokia's US operations declared that Nokia will be focusing exclusively on Windows Phone devices in North America. Reasons cited include the low profit margins of the ubiquitous low-end Series 40 devices and lackluster sales of Symbian based devices. This also means that the N9 won't be making it to North America either.

    What would I do without farting noises? That's the pinnacle of funny. The acme of funny even. How can you not have farting noises?

    Learn to make farting noises yourself. Be a producer, not a consumer!
